Chabad Tefillin Gassot

Product Description

Tefillin Gassot (“thick phylacteries”) are made out of a single piece of thick leather shaped by repeatedly applying several tons of pressure in industrial presses as part of a complicated, but delicate and exacting production process. The resulting battim (“houses”) are so thick and sturdy that they can be reshaped even if damaged. 

All stages of production, from inserting the parchments to closing and painting the battim and all other finishing steps of making your tefillin are done with careful adherence to halacha. These tefillin gassot are ohr echad and kosher l'chatchila. Features a Lubavitch Shin on the Shel Rosh, and standard Arizal/Nusach Sfard parchments (not Baal HaTanya writing).
